Tricks for April Fools
Bring on April Fools Day!  This year Lil' Suzy wanted to take it up a notch so here are some ideas we found to help you fools:

Food jokes
Can involve the entire family and are always fun for the younger kids.  We especially like some of the tricks we found over at  Disney's Family Fun.com.

Practical jokes
Do the Splits: Find a scrap of cloth. Place a dollar on the floor and stay nearby. When the victim comes by and bends down to pick up the dollar, rip the cloth loudly. Most people will reach back to see if they ripped their pants. One of the original classic April Fool's pranks of all time!

Short Sheet:This is a one of the oldest April Fool's Day pranks in the world! Take the top sheet off the victim's bed, and tuck the bottom end under the top end of the mattress. Pull it down and then fold it back up so that the top end is where it would be if the bed was made normally. Replace the pillow, blanket, etc., and make up the bed like it was before. When the victim gets into bed, they'll be surprised when they can't slide their feet all the way down to the bottom of the bed!

Typical Day: this is a great one for kids, and it will work well since April Fool's day is on the weekend. Start the day by waking your kids up like any other school day and go thru the routine, just like any other school day. Drive them to school and just before pulling up to the school, announce April Fools!
